PRISTINA, May 6 (Hina) - The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Sunday expressed concern over the possible resumption of conflicts in Macedonia and their humanitarian consequences. At least 1,000
Albanian refugees from Macedonia, fleeing from the conflicts, have arrived in Kosovo since May 3, UNHCR spokeswoman Astrid van Genderen Stort said. These refugees have found accommodation with relatives and friends in the neighbouring southern Yugoslav province without seeking assistance from the UNHCR. Almost 10,000 people have sought refuge in Kosovo since the outbreak of the Macedonian conflict last February. Several thousand have returned to their homes during a recent truce, but the recent escalation has completely blocked safe returns, the UNHCR spokeswoman said.(hina) ha
